A blog for the United States branch of the global Centre for Fortean Zoology

At the beginning of the 21st Century monsters still roam the remote, and sometimes not so remote, corners of our planet. It is our job to search for them. The Centre for Fortean Zoology [CFZ] is - we believe - the largest professional, scientific and full-time organisation in the world dedicated to cryptozoology - the study of unknown animals. Since 1992 the CFZ has carried out an unparalleled programme of research and investigation all over the world. Since 2009 we have been running the increasingly popular CFZ Blog Network, and although there has been an American branch of the CFZ for over ten years now, it is only now that it has a dedicated blog.

1966: Anonymous witness "Miss M. B." claims a
"skunk ape" sighting near Brooksville, Florida, while changing a flat
tire on a rural road. She describes the hairy biped as having green eyes,
watching her without attempting to approach her car.

1976: The Longview Journal reports that several weeks
earlier, an unnamed witness claimed a Bigfoot sighting near Hallsville, Texas.
According to the report, he or she saw two creatures—a 12-foot-tall male with silver
hair, seen shucking corn, while a smaller, "red-tinged" female stood
by watching.

Karl Shuker's update on his earlier work In Search of Prehistoric Survivors will appear shortly. This huge volume is entitled Still in Search of Prehistoric Survivors, with updates and new cryptids. This is going to be a must for any cryptozoologist. Release date in the United States is December 5th. The book, published by Coachwhip Publications, will be over 600 pages long.

1973: Little Rock's Arkansas Gazette reports that
witness Orville Scoggins, his son and grandson, claim a sighting of Bigfoot
near the town of Fouke. They describe a creature four feet tall, covered with
black hair, walking slowly through the woods.

1964:L Witnesses claim a sighting of two disc-shaped UFOs on
a hilltop outside New Berlin, New York. Observers claim that 12 humanoid
figures engaged in an apparent repair operation lasting "for hours,"
but apparently, no one had time to summon authorities.
